Richie Rich is an animated TV show from 1996. It was made by Harvey Films and Film Roman. The show is based on the popular Harvey Comics character, Richie Rich.
This cartoon series aired for just one season. It also included some older cartoons called Harveytoons. Unlike an earlier Richie Rich cartoon from the 1980s, this 1996 version showed Richie as a younger child. He wore his classic tuxedo and shorts, just like in the original comic books.
